No its not, it is perfectly legalin the UK to defend yourself from an attacker who has a firearm. However if you shoot an attacker in the back whilst they are running away, then a different view may be taken.
"In America, we wrote it into our bill of rights, because having just overthrown our king about a decade earlier, we decided that placing a monopoly on armaments in the hands of government was a very dangerous idea."
I thought it was all about ensuring a well regulated militia? Was the militia not supposed to be in the service of the government?
"Canada and Australia already have state operated media monopolies" Could you tell us more about these, when I was recently in Australia they seemed to have a large and varied range of media outlets, newspapers, magazines, commercial TV etc. I was unaware they are run by the state.
Why not do a little research? Go to any of your favorite job sites e.g. Monster, Jobserve etc and search on some lannguage keywords, perhaps C C++ C# Java. You will usually find that there are more posts that include the word java than any other. Maybe someone somewhere is using it.
"Richard Stallman thinks he's God in the open source movement?"
Richard Stallman does not think he's god in the open source movement. He belives the open source movement is misguided, and believes that people should not adopt open source licenses.
Typical of his views on the open source movement is "The values they cite are the same ones Microsoft appeals to: narrowly practical values." http://kerneltrap.org/node/4484
Go to any Job recruitment site and try a search on the keywords Java and the keyword C++ and I think you will get some idea of the use of these two languages. (You might check out C# and VB whilst you are at it).
Yes but calling your enemy a madman absolves you of the need to think about what they are thinking or trying to do. Just about every ideologically opposed group referrs to their enemy as mad.

There are ANSI standards for the C and C++ languages and yet there are multiple flavours, some with significant incompatibilities. Does this mean that the standard is not a standard?
According to the article "However, when it comes to software professionals, there is no such argument. Any software that they write, irrespective of whether it is during or outside normal working hours, legally belongs to their employer."
No it doesn't, in the UK it depends entirely on your contract which you can dispute when it comes to being engaged. I was offered a contract that claimed ownership of all IP I created, I disputed it, the contract was changed. I didn't mind my employer owning what I created in the course of my work, but what I created on my own time in a different area of interest I expect to keep. Now I do.
This type of sweeping statement undermines the credibility of the author.
It looks like some folks have started using Mesh infrastructure (that Linux based stuff from http://locustworld.net/ which will use low cost/obsolete hardware. See http://www.the-bains.us/
It's not necessarily about moving databases, it may be about simply supporting databases. Imagine you are developing a web application. You decide MySQL is decent enough for you and tailor your code for that flavour of SQL. Then megacorp comes along and says they are very interested in buying it but they will only support SQL Server, Oracle or whatever. Then suddenly database portability seems a little more important.
You are right of course, it cannot possibly work in the real world because just about anyone could post up nonsense or change stuff in slight ways that make it incorrect. And, yet, and yet, almost every time I need to look up some piece of information I find it has useful insightful well written items that help my understanding of the subject. So there you have it, it cannot possibly work, but for me it does.
Consider the possibility that not everyone thinks like you do. Consider that some people like the ability to modify the source code. Now think really hard about this, imagine some people like their software to be gratis and to be Free and yet still send some money to the people who create software.
I have used Blackboard professionally, I have used Moodle extensively. I would choose Moodle over Blackboard without question even if Moodle came at the same license cost. It doesn't, it is Free, gratis and GPL.

So the militia would give orders to the government, rather than the government giving orders to the milita?
